| Description | Clusia rosea
An evergreen tree with a wide, dense crown, this remarkable species thrives in the Caribbean. It showcases stiff, leathery leaves in rich dark green or olive tones. In the summer, it delights with pink or white flowers arranged in long clusters, followed by small green fruits that mature to a glossy black. As they ripen, these fruits split open to reveal vibrant red seeds that are especially appealing to birds. Its striking appearance makes it a wonderful choice for a houseplant or ornamental tree. While it prefers full sun, it can also manage in partial shade. For optimal growth, sandy, well-drained soil is recommended, and regular watering is important during the first year to help the plant get established.
